A cluttered desk can lead to a cluttered mind & disorder, tidy desk equals tidy mind
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009A cluttered desk can be a reflection of a cluttered mind, leading to disorder & an organised system of chaos.
Keep a tidy desk, have a tidy mind. Simplify your life.
Over the years I have watched as my desk as has gradually gone from a state of disarray & chaos to being neat and tidy, more systematic. I feel less stressed as I am not constantly viewing a pile of work to be completed.
Well you may say that having a messy desk works, you know exactly where everything is in the random piles of papers and files, everything while looking disorganised is actually organised.
Mmmm, well have a closer look and think about how you manage our time, your appointments, are you constantly running out of time to get through your work, to get stuff accomplished?
Chances are you personal space may also take on a similar appearance, is stuff left all over the house in piles, waiting to be put away or organised?
Have a look at those people who have a tidy desk, are far calmer, more methodical in there work practices, being more productive, efficient and less stressed.
Your desk doesn’t have to be empty and clinical, just organised.
Start of organising those documents into four categories and get them organised.
1.Requires urgent attention, high Importance
2.Requires urgent attention, low Importance
3.Not urgent, high importance
4.Not urgent, low importance
Using a filing system such as an A4 desk top drawer system will keep things organise and out of sight.
Do the same to your email inbox.
The idea is to reduce your constant though patterns of I’m so stressed, so much to do, so little time.
This will lead to more positive outcomes in your work and less stress.
So start today and have a less cluttered desk which will lead to a less cluttered mind & disorder, remember the old saying, tidy desk equals tidy mind
